[MyTwistedWords]

i've never been at all and so far only myself out of my group of mates secured a ticket... so i'll be lonesome partying myself!

[goldfishboy]

i've never gone on my own, but i know how easy it is to make friends at glasto from my own experience, wandering around chatting to randoms - it's the best place in the world to meet people

[givememoney]

went last year and it was amazing, was with a few of my long time buddie from school was wicked!!

Not sure i want to go on my own, just won't be the same. . . .

[fairyinboots]

I went on my own last year. Met the Efests bunch and had a fantastic time. Made some very good friends in the process.

[ollyh]

At the moment I'm on my own as well, not liking the idea at all tbh, so will make sure my mates try as much as possible to get tickets if another chance comes up.

You're never along at Glasto. One year I came on my own and met a great group who helped me put up my tent and settle in and we've been meeting up ever since.

me too, i went on my own this year, but if u camp at the triangle, your never on ur own once ur there unless u choose to be....i had a fantastic fest, didnt have to worry about pleasing anyone else, had a right old wander about, seen more that i had previous years...and to top it all off had the most fab time with the efests lot.....i guarantee you will LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!

oo the only downer was the many many many hours spent alone in my car trying to get in, so id suggest car share or public transport, but even then the lovely Strudders kept in touch on the phone so not all bad lol xx

I go on my own, and it's ace. Most of the eFesters are an awesome bunch. I recently just turned up at a festival with a bag of cider and a parka, and I was well looked after.

For the 6 nights I was at Glastonbury I only spent 2 nights anywhere near my own tent

Still waiting for confirmation from my mates that they got tickets, but I'm not overly bothered if they didn't, as we all wanted to do different things last year so I didn't see much of them during the festival, and enjoyed meeting eFesties and random strangers and partying with them.

Am tempted to camp in regardless.

[spuddy09]

looks like I will be going by myself this year too.And to be honest I cant bloody wait.

is the informal eFest campsite, it's on Pennards, about a third of the way up if I remember correctly (only visited it once whilst drunk last year)

Camping with efesters will be one of the best decisions you'll ever make.

Fact!

[givememoney]

cool thanks for your replys,

Don't think im gonna worry about my mates getting tickets and just go.

Chill with this efest lot, triangle champ!

[LostRiot]

I think its quite likely your friends will be able to get one in the april resale.

I heard that there were 30,000 tickets at the resale last year, but it didn't sell out for months, this year loads more people know how the deposit system works so I think lots of people bought them on the off chance they could make it.

Having said that, I know a lot more people who forgot to get tickets, so more people will be trying to get them, but basically, I wouldn't give up hope yet.

I've never done Glastonbury on my own but onvce spent a day on my own because I was with my brother and his girlfriend and they needed time to themselves. I had the most fantastic day ever and the only bad bit was when I got back to my tent and they weren't there yet so I couldn't tell them all about it!

I think the great thing about going alone is the total freedom it gives you to do what you want. Sometimes I'm somewhere and I'd quite like to move on, but I can see the person I'm with is really onto it so feel I have to stay. Sometimes I'm really into something but I'm wondering whether the person I'm with wants to move on. It's great to just stay somewhere for as long as you want, and move when you want.

On the other hand - you do then want to tell someone everything you've done and seen - so although I've never done it - the Efest sounds a great plan for any solo ravers.

[givememoney]

my mate are a useless bunch, and getting them to register is like getting them to cut their arm off of something.

to be honest we did't think it would sell out and were to chilled out about it. Was planning to book/register them this week once all the fuss had passed. . . .. . .

happy days

[sortzcov]

You will be fine my first Glasto was me by myself and it was probably the best I was able to do what I wanted!!!
